Beehive House

Got right into a tour. It lasted over the 30 minutes. I was interested as I am a member of the Mormon faith. I liked seeing the rooms and thought the history provided of Young and Joseph F Smith was interesting. It is small and kids probably wouldn't enjoy.

Free tour, we happened to get there just as the next tour was starting. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Some of the pieces are original to the owners and others are time appropriate pieces. I liked learning the history and seeing what life would of been like back in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s.

Oh my goodness! The quality of this tour has grown 10O0% better now that the Church history department has taken the reigns from the missionary department. I highly recommend this. You get the historical aspects of the home and of the period. Polygamy is not hidden or glossed over, but stated as a matter of fact way of life. The guides are knowledgeable and accurate and there is no missionary pressure or out of the blue testifying that can turn off non-members who are there for the history and asking members for referrals of their friends which has been a guilt-ridden staple of historical sites in the past. Such a pleasant and professional change!

The Beehive House is a beautifully preserved piece of Utah history. The tour was informative and gave great insight into Brigham Young’s life and early pioneer days. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and the home itself is full of character.

Very interesting tour. Better to come prepared - read smth about Mormon history. Or visit the history museum on the other side of the Temple square.

Cool house, slightly awkward tour guide. They lay the preaching on pretty thick about their religion and what the LDS represents which I guess given their reputation as missionaries is expected. We also missed a room because another group was in there and asked if we could go back since they weren't there anymore, they were quite apprehensive and you could tell they didn't want to which was odd we had to push them a little to take us. Seemed like they were not flexible and pretty strict, but again not unexpected. The tour itself was okay, aside from the preaching they kept throwing in I would have rather just looked around. I suggest asking them about some of the more controversial subjects that Brigham Young was known for if you wanna make it more interesting.

You should probably start your tour of Temple Square here… So much history beautifully maintained and wonderful tour guides. Don’t miss this jewel at the heart of Salt Lake City.

It was a very enlightening experience. The missionaries are so knowledgeable and insightful. I recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I've been living here for months and finally walked across the street. Should have done it earlier. I had a great time and learned a lot. Their historical memorabilia is to die for. Will be back with more time and bring friends next time.
